It took me a very long time to realize my true beauty. I can remember being the center of jokes regarding my dark skin and large thighs when I was younger and it stuck with me for a very long time. I used to spend hours criticizing myself. "My butt is too big, my hips are too wide, I hate my nose, my hair is too nappy, my skin is too dark, and the list goes on. I didn't look like the girls from the magazines or a model on TV and I hated that. But one day I decided that my flaws are what makes me who I am. Despite what Queen Bey says, no one is FLAWLESS and I wouldn't be Bridge without my wide hips and pointy nose. My dark skin and my nappy hair. My imperfections are what makes me beautiful. Therefore I'm thankfully PERFECTLY FLAWED. So I asked a few other ladies what "Perfectly Flawed" meant to them. Below are their responses.
"Well no one is perfect. However, we are perfectly unique... We all have flaws that make us who we are.... It's like the saying.. "Nobody's perfect.. But you're perfect for me.." We wouldn't be half the women, half the people we are if our flaws didn't exist.. So to me, perfectly flawed means that though I'm not textbook perfect, God makes no mistakes... So everything I am...& everything I'm not.. Was all divinely orchestrated by the one in whose Image I was created."-Brittany
"Being perfectly flawed shows that you embrace your short comings and use them for the better"-Pre
"Being perfectly flawed means that you know that you have flaws, you know that you have things to work on, but at the same time you have self love and appreciate who you are and you're willing to accept that you're not always going to be flawless. You're not always going to be accepted the way you want to be accepted. You're willing to work on it and you're perfectly fine with accepting who you are."- Delilah
"Means fully acceptant of myself despite what others define as perfect."-Nae
"Perfectly Flawed to me means that no one is perfect and we all have characteristics about ourselves that we would want to change. Instead of changing it we just accept it and make it something positive in our lives rather than something negative and having it define who we are."-Ashley
"It sounds like someone who has accepted that they can't be perfect and they have accepted themselves as they are. Whether thats a big nose, big forehead, and bad attitude."-LaLa
"We all have some type of flaw about us to be honest....we are never flawless... When we recognize that we are perfectly flawed.... That's what it means to me."-Chels
"I believe it means that no one is perfect...And to someone out there you are perfect for them with all your imperfections..."-Michelle
"Perfectly flawed to me means being content and secure with every idiosyncrasy and every imperfect thing about ones self. It means being confident despite your self perceived flaws and knowing that we were all created and designed perfectly by God with a specific purpose in mind."-AJ
"To me perfectly flawed is the understanding that you know you have things you could fix or improve on about yourself. Yet you are ok with the way you are or committed to improving on the flaws it's always something we could work on within ourselves. But embracing your flaws beauty wise already makes you 10times more beautiful."-Vinny
"Perfectly flawed is being completely content with your imperfections! Your imperfections makes you the person you are today."-Jasmine
"Perfectly flawed is like a saying... a saying meaning "I accept me for who I am, I love my self the way God has put me together" flaws and all I am perfect who I am cause thats the way God made me... its something that every women should feel because of the heavy affect that society and social media has on us, we feel obligated to look like the ideal woman that we see online and on TV."-Kav
"It means that your flaws, mistakes, good and the bad make you who you are. perfectly flawed is to admit that you are human but you are a constant work in progress..."-JaJa
So as you can tell, although the answers were all different they definitely shared the same concept. No matter what flaws you may feel you have, know that you are BEAUTIFUL!!! FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made in His(Jesus) image. Don't ever let anyone make you feel otherwise. True beauty starts within. Always remember that and walk with your head held high.
With Love,
Bridge💋
****Comment and tell me what Perfectly Flawed" means to you.****
Perfectly Flawed is believing in the idea that were created in God's image and to his likings. Painted on us were imperfections that he deemed beautiful and we must accept that being flawed is what really and truly define beauty. Perfectly flawed is living and believing that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that our imperfections are what makes us who we are.
ReplyDelete@Beautiful_Mistake that was a great definition of Perfectly Flawed and I agree 100%. Thank you so much for your comment.
ReplyDeletePerfectly Flawed to me is not to change myself for no one but for myself. I'm not perfect I'm difference. I use think "I wanted look liked Nikki manja or Beyonce" because they are beautiful. My husband always say" you are my queen , you are beautiful than any women in the world". So I'm not perfectly Flawed I'm just PERFECT.
